Since Junco and House Sparrows are in completely different families this is an extremely unlikely scenario. More likely a House Sparrow with aberrant tail feathers.

Looks like a female House Sparrow with a Junco tail. Also had a Fox Sparrow. Both MIA now,,,I will post a photo later on my blog www.longislandbirding.blogspot.com<http://www.longislandbirding.blogspot.com>. Not best quality since taken thru the window.
